Turning on the radio during prayer and its disturbance of the one praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sisters Hanaa Hasan Abu al-Naja and Maryam Hasan Abu al-Naja from Palestine sent a message containing several questions. In one of the questions, they ask: Does turning on the radio invalidate the prayer, especially since we do not listen to the radio during prayer, but I often hear some simple things without paying attention to them?
Answer: It does not invalidate the prayer, but it may disturb the woman or the man praying. It should be turned off during prayer so that no disturbance occurs. Otherwise, if it is left on and she is occupied with her prayer and the man is occupied with his prayer, the prayer is valid. However, it should be turned off because things may pass through it that disturb the one praying. So, it is prescribed for the believing man and woman to turn it off during prayer. Yes.
